Problem
Many vehicle owners cannot access advanced driver assistance technologies because such systems require integration during vehicle manufacturing, leaving existing cars without safety upgrades. This limits the ability to reduce collisions and improve driving comfort for a large portion of the fleet.
Solution
Saferide offers aftermarket driver assistance modules that can be retrofitted to any existing vehicle. The suite includes automatic emergency braking (AEB) capable of preventing up to 80% of collisions, location‑based lane‑centering to keep the vehicle aligned within its lane, and a vision‑plus‑laser‑assisted adaptive cruise control that maintains safe following distances. By installing these components without a full vehicle redesign, Saferide enables safer, more automated driving for current fleets. The system is slated for commercial release in 2026, with demo units available on request.
Target Audience
Primary customers are fleet operators, vehicle owners, and aftermarket service providers seeking to upgrade existing vehicles with advanced driver assistance capabilities.
